    That's definitely a unique find. DO you have any pics of it? I found a bobcat den while shedding a couple weeks ago- needless to say, I was scared:violin:

    No, i did have my camera though. It was just bones left. My buddy finds lots of dead animals on this property for some reason. It has 4-5 little ponds spread out throughout the woods and a few creeks. Naturally, he finds everything by the ponds. I cant stress how beautiful this property is though. It probably has 50 acres of mature pine trees, 2 different 15 acre swamps and 75-100 acres of fields. Their is also 30-40 acres of newer growth forest and 10-15 acres of hardwoods. Ill try to post up some arial photos of it.

    I went out yesterday for awhile and checked some regular places and a cornfield but came up with nothing. I hear that alot of bucks still have their antlers on here.

    Ive been looking sparingly. Trying to keep the pressure down on the turkeys and wait until all the antlers are off around here. Like ive mentioned, i dont have much hope for finding the other side since its been off since at least late January now. There are some other big bucks in the area though that i wouldnt mind finding.

    I went out yesterday and today for a little bit. Didnt find anything, but did enjoy being in the woods in the morning. I think that i heard a couple gobbles today, but i couldnt be sure.

    Went out agian today after taking down some stands. I saw a few gobblers and hens, but no sheds. Ill probably hit the woods hard sometime this week, as i feel they are all off now. My buddy from NC is going out with me tomorrow afternoon to look around.

    Word on the street is that it was found North of my hunting grounds by somebody a couple months ago. I haven't confirmed yet though...
